Not a good reason to go Marxist. There are other parties.There are....but I find that Republican/Conservative stand on gay marriage to be a deal breaker for me....atm.There are more issues than gay marriage.No, I don't underestimate the ability of the whacked out authoritarian religious right to screw up this country and the rest of the world for that matter. Nor do I underestimate the ability of the whacked out authoritarian marxist pos democrats who are using political polls to gain power over us all and screw up the country and the rest of the world.Why do democrats benefit from gay marriage? Huh?
Because they support it, and the majority of the nation supports it. Especially key demographics like independents....who support it by 64%. And younger voters who support it by more than 80%.
Because they're on the right side of history. Because their position makes them look more rational and open minded in comparison to conservatives who oppose it.
Because it extends freedoms and constitutional protection to Americans. Which benefit Democrats and every other American.
Because it cements gays and lesbians with democrats. And they're as small but vocal and influential demographic.
Once the Gay marriage issue is settled the gays can go back to being supporters of productive policies vs things like hand-out programs designed to break the bank.
You underestimate who virelent the opposite is to gay marriage among many conservatives. They won't let the issue lie. And every time they make batshit comments like Huckabee's yesterday.......Democrats will reap a rich bounty:
“It won’t stop until there are no more churches, until there are no more people who are spreading the Gospel,” the former Arkansas governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate said. "And I'm talking now about the unabridged, unapologetic gospel that is really God's truth."

The batshit is strong with this one.
Citing the fact that the democratic party is with the majority of the country in support of same sex marriage isn't 'whacked out authoritarian marxism'.
Its just a fact.
